Circuit Description

The body control module (BCM) will read an analog voltage form the Passlock™ sensor. Based on an internal reference, the BCM will determine if the measured voltage is in one of the following conditions:

    • Open
    • Shorted to ground
    • A valid code
    • A tamper code

There are 10 possible valid code combinations. The BCM will only recognize the last learned valid code.

Conditions for Setting the DTC
    • The ignition switch is ON.
    • The BCM signal input is greater than 4.9 volts for 1 second after turning the ignition switch to the CRANK position.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
    • The DTC will set only when the engine is running
    • The BCM will be in the fail enable mode allowing the vehicle to start and run.
    • The security indicator will be on.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC
    • The current DTC will clear once an ignition cycle has occurred without the fault recurring.
    • After 100 concurrent ignition cycles occur without the fault recurring, a history DTC clears.
    • Using a scan tool.

Diagnostic Aids
    • When replacing the Passlock™ sensor, all of the following components are included as a replacement part and must be replaced:
       - The lock
       - The sensor
       - The filter
       - The harness
    • Use a scan tool in order to inspect the Passlock™ data voltage and the Passlock™ code.
    • Perform a visual inspection of the wiring and the connectors.
    • You may be directed to this table from the VTD Systems Check without a DTC B2958 being set. If you were directed to this table, follow all of the steps in this diagnostic.
    • When directed to this table, DTC B2958 may have a history status.
    • When connecting connector C211, make measurements on the harness side of the connector.

Test Description
